As some of you will recall, last spring I did a chapter-by-chapter re-read of Prisoner of Azkaban. I mean to do similar treatments of all the books eventually, and today I'm starting Chamber of Secrets.
I did PoA first not only because the movie adaptation was about to be released, but because I love the book and knew it would provide rich material. CoS didn't make much of an impression on me when I first read it, but now that we know the upcoming sixth book has connections with it, it seems like a good choice.
For those who like to read along at the same pace, I'm going to do a chapter every two days. Participation is very much desired; don't be shy. I made some good friends during the PoA re-read.
I'll be reading the UK paperback edition, so that's what the page numbers will refer to.
CoS 1: The Worst Birthday
( and so on )
I don't have any CoS-like icons. Perhaps I should rectify this.

CoS 1: The Worst Birthday
Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive. (7)The book actually gets off to a fairly quick start, setting off in the middle of a row. JKR rapidly and entertainingly sketches the characters with dialogue and action, rendering the upcoming block of exposition unnecessary.
